Top 10 Countries You Should Have on Your Travel Bucket List
Antarctica: This icy wilderness is earth’s southernmost continent which is in itself a country and state as it has none accorded to it even though it ranks number 5 in size, beating 2 other continents that have countries and states. This is because Antarctica is made up of about 98% water both in its liquid form and solid (ice) form. It can be rightly said that the walls of Antarctica consists of frozen water and the most fascinating thing about these ice walls is that they are not static. Before you begin to catch some chills, take a look at some of the bucket list of tourist attractions that will leave you freezing unless you take a dip in the hot spring at Deception Island.
1. Bucket list attractions in Antarctica include:
a. ANTARCTIC PENINSULA
First of all, your travel plan or itinerary should be mapped around the Antarctic Peninsula an extension of the Andes; the most popular landing spot as it is the closest point to South America but still separated by the notoriously rough, 1,000 kilometres wide Drake Passage which makes it even the more bucket list-worthy. Crossing the Drake Passage takes two days by boat or two hours by plane alternatively. Voyages often stop off at some of the fascinating islands along the way, which helps to break up the long cruise. Your expedition has just about begun as you could spot dozens of whales swimming around the cruise boats, and one of the region’s top predators the leopard seal hunting seals.
b. DRAKE PASSAGE
If you go through this stretch of water between South America and Antarctica without a churn in your stomach then you have a fearless heart. The passage instigates a sense of adventure and dreads all at the same time as the boat manoeuvres through the wave of moving ice walls that come right at it threatening to enclose and suppress it. The best way to distract yourself from the dreadful rouse of gales and the sense of mounting excitement from the colossal icebergs during the two-day crossing by boat is to find something to watch and really watch it with full concentration, you would most definitely catch a glimpse of giant albatross from the deck or better yet join in the captivating wildlife and geography lectures.
c. FALKLAND ISLANDS AND KING GEORGE ISLAND
Falkland is the windswept, wave-bashed biodiversity where you should expect to be followed by Commerson’s dolphins as you take a boat cruise. When you look around, you might also see some enormous albatross glide above and four species of penguins nest on the shoreline, shipwrecks and an unsettling whalebone arch. You should cap up your voyage with a tray of grilled fish and chips or send yourself fax or text from the red phone boxes.
King George Island is the largest island in Antarctica and its airfield is most often than not used by those wishing to avoid the rough Drake Passage crossing. Lying 120 kilometres to the south, close to one of the last outposts before reaching Antarctica, the South Shetlands are home to 16 research stations and the continent’s only hotel. This is one of the very few places in Antarctica where you feel at home at least with the sight of humans (researchers), it is however not rid of aquatic and semi-aquatic animals such as Penguins, gulls, cormorants, giant petrels, mosses and lichens.
d. LEMAIRE CHANNEL:
This precarious channel made up of backdrop marrowy waters is sloped high above the waters stand some giant icebergs, glaciers and sheer cliffs, while humpback whales and sometimes orcas from the behemoths beneath. It is surely a gateway of unforgettable adventures.
e. PORT LOCKROY:
This natural harbour located on Wiencke Island has served several purposes. It was originally used for whaling, then as a military base during the Second World War, it later served as a research station. It is currently a popular stop-off point for Antarctic itinerants and is being used as a historic site with a museum and post office. So when your Antarctic expedition takes you around Port Lockroy, do well to send yourself a postcard or mail with an Antarctica stamp on it for the record.
f. ROSS SEA AND ICE SHELF IN SOUTH GEORGIA:
In this desolate yet beautiful, remarkably remote the South Sandwich Islands which is the resting place of explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton is a 3,000 meters mountain ridge that discharges glaciers into sheltered harbours and serves as home to king penguins and enormous barking elephant seals.
The islands also feature volcanic Mount Michael as well as the about 3,700 meters high Mount Erebus which both have active lava lakes. This is one of the best spots to watch the icebergs crumble and melt into liquid waters.
g. SUBANTARCTIC ISLANDS:
This is your best bet if you are looking to find the amazing plant and animal species on the Antarctic continent. The islands are among the most isolated few and far between on the planet that encompasses specks of land between with some of the strangest mega herbs that have adapted to the climatic condition of Antarctica and managed to flourish. Some enormous penguin colonies especially the rockhopper penguins skip along the shores, while elephant seals bicker and honk so loud you could feel them underneath your skin.
h. TIERRA DEL FUEGO:
The waters here are a lot more accommodating and host no titanic icebergs that could close up on you. Here you can take an Antarctica expedition a little deeper into the shallow waters and explore the walking trails through the national park forests, paddle canoes on lagoons and rivers and get to breathe in some fresh iceless Antarctic oxygen.
i. DECEPTION ISLAND’S HOT SPRING:
I bet you are as awed as I was when I first heard the phrase hot spring being associated with earth’s coldest ice region. I thought for a while that it might be an artificial spring that is heated by perhaps researchers or tourists to warm themselves up when the cold begins to defy and penetrate warm clothing. My bubbles busted when I realized that Deception Island’s Hot Spring is actually a natural hot spring in Antarctica where you can soak up and keep yourself warm against the icy climate.
You have the options of wading right into the warm shore water at the South Shetlands in Antarctica where there is warm volcanic soil and even warmer water underground if you are an excellent swimmer. Else, you should just dig up some of the volcanic soil to make a bed of water your size and climb into the steaming hot pool of water for a sensational dip.

The Uffizi Gallery is an art museum which gives shelter to famous artwork from the Renaissance period. While the Vasari Corridor is an elevated passage connected to the Uffizi Gallery and running between the town hall and the Palazzo Pitti. Both of these attractions are located in the Historic Centre of Florence. Therefore, a trip to either of them is proportionate to killing two births with one stone.
d. THE ACCADEMIA
This art exhibition centre located in Florence is one of Italy’s most visited tourist destinations. It holds remarkable art exhibitions dating back to the 1300 and 1600, the most famous of which is the sculpture of David by Michelangelo and other works of this great artist as well as other artists of Florence. You might not have met these artists, but seeing their works of art will sound their thoughts in your heart.

This museum with an impeccable towering cylindrical structure which is today the fifth most popular attraction in Italy was built under the dictates of Hadrian, a Roman Emperor, to serve as a mausoleum for him and his family.

It was at some point a tomb house where ashes of Emperor Hadrian and his family members and those of subsequent emperors till 217 AD were stored until in 401 when the mausoleum was converted to a fortress and castle and finally, in modern times, it has been declared a museum where the general public can visit and find Roman artefacts on display.
